Call or email me at the address on the bottom of this page to set up your day and time for a get-together with friends and family so you can share with them all the new items and ideas we have to offer.

RAZZLE DAZZLE

This is the new Razzle Dazzle stamp set and the new incolors paper and inks. The dsp is from the level 3 hostess set, Lovely flower bundle.

Here is another card with the Razzle Dazzle set and the new Razzleberry Lemonade dsp. I used old olive cs for matting as I think this is a great compliment to these colors. And the Rose red grosgrain ribbons we already have in our catty matches wonderful. Also remember those small areas you would love to put the incolors on your stamps? Well now you can with the new incolors markers. Love them! I think I have used them more than the ink pads.

AUTUMN DAYS STAMP SET

The new Autumn Days stamp set is a great set. It has stamps for fall and winter and goes so well with the new incolors. This card shows a pheasant walking thru a wheat field in the sunset. Great set for Thanksgiving, Christmas or masculine cards. I'm sure you'll agree when you see it. This card is done with all new incolors.

I love this set, very versatile, this one I used the new crushed curry cs with old olive and ww. I stamped the background in versamark with the same branch stamp as behind the pheasant. The sentiment is not SU.

Here is another card with the new Autumn Days stamp set. Then I used the stripped RHR ribbon and the sentiment from Holidays and Wishes set.

GOOD TO BE BACK

Wow! It's been awhile since I've been here. Alot has happened since my last post. My youngest child graduated from Indiana University and moved to Chicago and is job hunting. (anyone with job leads let me know). LOL. So we were out of town for awhile with graduation, packing and moving. Then, praise God, I've been working alot of hours at work and not a lot of time to get anything done or hold many classes. I do have one this Sunday evening and I am excted about it. I feel out of the loop since I havent held any. So hopefully I can get some projects made and posted. I have been looking at everything you really talented people have been sharing on your messages and sudsol and am green with envy. I have seen several things I would like to case and when I do you'll all get the credit. Thanks for the inspiration. Look back soon for my soon-to-post projects.

MATCHBOX MESSAGES

Hi everyone. I decided to make a sample of boxes using the Matchbox Messages stamps from the Occasion Mini catty. So I hope you all enjoy them and that they give you some inspiration. The one on the left I used RHR box and the Tea Party dsp and wrapped with RHR stripped ribbon and stamped the "a little something" circle on w.w. and punched out with 1 1/4" circle punch and layered on rhr cs and punched with 1 3/8" punch and layered with demensionals. The center one has a Tangering Tango box with w.w. wrap sponged all over with tangerine ink then decorated with the little leaves from the sizzlit die and layered the "little thanks" circle stamp on top. Then the one on the right is a Summer Sun box with dsp wrap from the SAB catty and layered the frame stamp in celery on summer sun and stamped with the Sweet Stems stamp set. I hope you like them.

On the box on the left in this picture I made the box of pacific point and the cover from the Walk in the Park dsp. The label is w.w. sponged with baja breeze and stamped with Pacific point. The center box is of pixie pink with Tea Party dsp and a w.w. label sponged with pretty in pink and stamped with pixie pink. Then the one on the right (my favorite) is a old olive box with a white cover sponged lightly all over with olive and stamped with the vine stamp in olive. Then I got out my Christmas sets and used the words from A Cardinal Christmas and the poinsetta from Season of Joy sets, then attached with crystal effects a half pearl from the pretties kit.
